Identify Your Operating System and Architecture

Before downloading, determine which version of your operating system is running. Windows users must distinguish between ARM64, X64, and X86 architectures. macOS users should select the Universal build. Linux users need to choose between aarch64 and x86_64, as well as the specific package format like .deb, .rpm, .flatpak, or AppImage. FreeBSD users should select the x86_64 tar.gz file. Choosing the wrong architecture will prevent the software from running correctly on your hardware.

Select the Correct File Format

Windows users have two choices: a portable .zip file or an .msi installer. The .msi file installs the application normally, while the .zip file is a portable version that does not require installation. For macOS, download the .dmg disk image. For Linux, choose the package format that matches your distribution or desktop environment. The .tar.gz files are also available for manual extraction. The Web static catalog is a separate zip file for those who only need the data catalog and not the full launcher application.

Download Directly from the Official Source

Click the download link for your chosen file. The page ensures that every download redirects you directly to the official GitHub release. This means OpenCraftTools never re-hosts the binary. You are retrieving the file from the original developers to ensure you are getting the authentic, unmodified software. This direct link model prevents the risk of tampered mirrors or third-party bundlers adding unwanted software to the installation package.

Verify the Download Integrity

After the download completes, verify the file using the SHA256SUMS.txt document provided in the release assets. Download the SHA256SUMS.txt file from the same release page. Use your system's terminal or command prompt to calculate the SHA-256 hash of the downloaded installer and compare it to the value listed in the text file. If the hashes match, the file has not been corrupted or altered during transfer. This step is critical for maintaining the security of your system when installing open-source software.

Install and Launch

Run the installer or extract the portable files. On Windows, double-click the .msi file to start the installation wizard, or extract the .zip to a folder of your choice. On macOS, open the .dmg file and drag the application to your Applications folder. On Linux, install the .deb or .rpm using your system package manager, or make the AppImage executable and run it. Once installed, launch ArtCraft Launcher to begin managing your Craft App Sui interactions. Note that this is an early alpha version, so expect potential instability or missing features compared to stable releases.

Checklist

• Confirm your operating system is Windows, macOS, Linux, or FreeBSD
• Identify your CPU architecture (ARM64, X64, X86, aarch64, or x86_64)
• Select the file format that matches your installation preference
• Download the file directly from the GitHub release link
• Download the SHA256SUMS.txt file for verification
• Run a hash check to ensure the file integrity matches the expected value
